The Tennessee Department of Agriculture is celebrating Weights and Measures week March 1-7, 2023. This year’s theme is “Collaborating with Partners and Stakeholders for a Greater Measure of Equity.”
Weights and Measures officials report that shoppers are surprised to learn that in addition to checking scales during a grocery store inspection, the inspector checks Universal Product Code (UPC) price verification scanners. Inspectors randomly choose products from shelves and scan the bar codes. The price of the product is then verified at the register to ensure the price matches. Inspectors also check signage, advertisements, and price computations to make sure consumers are not misled.
TDA inspectors follow nationally-adopted best practices and adhere to the highest standards. TDA is responsible for ensuring the specifications, tolerances and other technical requirements are met for commercial weighing and measuring devices at 11,827 locations across Tennessee. These devices include fuel pumps, scales, bulk meters, and liquefied petroleum gas meters. Since July 1, 2022, Weights and Measures officials have conducted 9,663 inspections.
The Julius T. Johnson State Metrology Laboratory on the Ellington Agricultural Campus in Nashville maintains and houses the primary standards of mass, volume, and length for the state. The lab offers calibration services using the most current equipment and testing capabilities.
Tennessee is a member of the National Conference on Weights and Measures, a professional nonprofit association of state and local weights and measures officials, federal agencies, manufacturers, retailers, and consumers. The association has developed national weights and measures standards since 1905.
Gas prices across the state are once again trending lower. Over last week, pump prices fell nine cents, on average. The Tennessee Gas Price average is now $3.01 which is 28 cents less expensive than one month ago and 42 cents less than one year ago.
“The recent increases we’ve seen at the pump were likely a delayed response to an oil price hike that happened a couple of weeks ago,” said Megan Cooper, spokeswoman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “The good news for Tennesseans is that we’re once again seeing modest declines in our gas prices. Over the past two weeks we’ve seen wholesale prices drop a total of 15 cents, which means that it’s likely we’ll continue to see prices move lower in the short term. This week, it’s very likely that we’ll see the state average drop below $3 per gallon.”
Quick Facts
65% of Tennessee gas stations have prices below $3.00
The lowest 10% of pump prices are $2.78 for regular unleaded
The highest 10% of pump prices are $3.38 for regular unleaded
Tennessee is the 9th least expensive market in the nation
National Gas Prices
The national average for a gallon of gas fell five cents since last week to $3.36. The main reason is the price of oil, which fell into the mid $70s per barrel, nearly $5 cheaper than a week ago.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand increased slightly from 8.27 million b/d to 8.91 million b/d last week. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks decreased by 1.8 million bbl to 240.1 million bbl last week. However, fluctuating oil prices have contributed to pushing pump prices lower. But if gas demand keeps rising amid tightening domestic stocks, drivers may see an end to future pump price drops.
Today’s national average of $3.36 is 14 cents less than a month ago and 24 cents less than a year ago.
National Oil Market Dynamics
At the close of Wednesday’s formal trading session, WTI decreased by $2.41 to settle at $73.95. Crude prices have declined due to the strengthening of the dollar and market concerns about increasing domestic oil inventories. An increase in supply could mean that demand may not move as high as anticipated. EIA reported that total domestic commercial crude inventories increased substantially by 7.6 million bbl to 479 million bbl last week.
L-R: Glenn Hollandsworth, MTE member revenue & programs manager; Robert White, MTE vice president of member services & community relations; and Cindy Herron, vice president of TVA energy services & programs.
Middle Tennessee Electric (MTE) has earned the Community Champion Award from the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for its dedication to TVA EnergyRight programs to benefit its community.
“MTE is grateful for this recognition from TVA and for its EnergyRight programs that allow us to serve our community and members in so many ways,” said Robert White, MTE vice president of member services and community relations.
The Community Champion Award honors a local power company that has actively promoted TVA EnergyRight programs and enthusiastically communicated its value to the community through public advocacy and strategic alliances.
In FY22, MTE supported its community through the School Uplift and Home Uplift programs. MTE assisted Smyrna Elementary School during its 12-month participation in School Uplift, including monthly meetings with school staff and STEM students to review their electric bills and helping host a kickoff workshop for the entire student body. The co-op helped Cannon County Elementary save even more energy by securing an additional $80,000 through the United Way to purchase new classroom chillers.
MTE also continues to serve residents with a high energy burden through Home Uplift. The cooperative has increased its program contributions and received the first third-party contribution to Home Uplift from First Baptist Church Murfreesboro, located on East Castle Street.
“We are proud to partner with MTE on energy-saving programs like School Uplift and Home Uplift that directly benefit the community,” said Cindy Herron, vice president, TVA Energy Services & Programs. “When schools and residents save money on their energy bills, they can use it for more important things like educating students and taking care of their families.”
MTE was also recognized among 153 local power companies served by TVA as a Top Performer in several EnergyRight program categories in FY22.
First place – Home Energy Evaluations with 386,501 kWh of energy savings from 733 participants Second place – Carbon Reduction through EnergyRight programs with 29,338 tons of carbon reduced Third place – New Homes with 6,188,835 kWh of efficient energy added to avoid 25,437 tons of carbon Fifth place – Home Uplift Program with 220,083 kWh of energy savings through 70 homes uplifted
Many citizens are concerned about a project on State Route 1 / State Route 64, the John Bragg Highway.
The construction of a J-turn (U-turn) at the Intersection of SR 1 (US 70) and SR 64/Bradyville Road in Cannon County, Includes a closure of the current median crossover at SR-64/Bradyville Road. A raised concrete median will be installed in its place, and the existing caution lights will be removed. Grade work will be necessary to complete the new crossover, turn lanes, merge lane, and bulb out (extra roadway surface area allowing larger vehicles to make a U-turn safely). In addition, the contractor will resurface the intersection and install new signs, pavement markings, and guardrail.
Drivers traveling East on SR-64 and West on Bradyville Road will only have a right turn option at the SR-1 intersection.
Drivers traveling East on SR-1 will not have a left turn option at Bradyville Road. To access Bradyville Road, drivers will travel through the current intersection and make a U-turn at the new crossover, followed by a right turn onto Bradyville Road.
Drivers traveling West on SR-1 will not have a left turn option at SR-64, they will be required to complete a U-turn at the Barker Road intersection followed by a right turn onto SR-64 West.
According to TDOT; Lane closures are necessary as part of this project to construct these proposed improvements. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each directions on SR 1 (US 70) through the work zone until the project has been completed. These traffic shifts will be implemented in phases beginning with a right lane closure in both directions. Additional lane closures will be required for milling and paving operations; flaggers will be present during this work assisting with the flow of traffic through the work zone. At least one lane will remain open in each direction at all times, but drivers should use caution and expect delays. Drivers are encouraged to reduce their speed and watch for construction equipment and personnel working in the area. Once completed, this project will improve safety and operational efficiency of the intersection.
Unfortunately, this intersection has experienced many crashes. In fact, the crash rate for this intersection exceeded the statewide average crash rate for similar types of intersections. A multi-disciplinary team was assembled to visit the intersection, study the crash trends, observe driver behavior, and search for ways to reduce the number of crashes and/or lessen the severity of crashes.
As part of the study, TDOT assessed whether the intersection might meet signal warrants as prescribed in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), which the State of Tennessee has adopted as State law. There was not enough traffic to warrant a traffic signal, so TDOT explored other intersection designs. Moreover, in rural areas with high speeds such as this, traffic signals often present new problems. When the traffic signal changes from green to yellow, some motorists have difficulty determining whether to stop or to proceed through the intersection. The term for this is called “the dilemma zone.” In fact, the number of rear-end crashes increases at signalized intersections simply because of this reason. Taking these factors into consideration, the department selected the J-Turn design, which is an alternative design that other states have successfully employed to mitigate the type of situations that are encountered here. TDOT has already installed J-Turn’s at twelve intersections across the state with great success. The department is optimistic that drivers will grow to appreciate this alternative design in Cannon County.
Friday regional leadership held a meeting with some local officials, state reps and stakeholders to hear their concerns and see if there are any additional improvements or modifications that can be made to the intersection.
As a result, the current map graphics and explanation of the current plan may be subject to change depending on the outcome of that meeting. I’ll be sure to touch base and keep you updated if/when additional information becomes available.
In addition to all of this, drivers can email TDOT.Comments@tn.gov with any questions, comments, concerns, etc. – and their inquiry will get routed to the appropriate staff and leadership for an accurate and prompt response.

Agricultural and forestry businesses have a new opportunity to strengthen or expand operations with an innovative program.
The Tennessee Department of Agriculture (TDA) joins Governor Bill Lee in announcing the Tennessee Forestry, Agriculture, and Rural Markets (FARM) cost share.
“Agriculture drives Tennessee’s economy, and this strategic investment will ensure that the industry continues to thrive,” said Governor Lee. “We remain committed to rural Tennessee, and I am confident that the FARM program will strengthen farm families and agribusiness across our state.”
“We appreciate the Financial Stimulus Accountability Group for the allocation to support Tennessee’s farming and forestry families with this FARM cost share,” Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher, D.V.M. said. “We will disperse this funding to bolster rural economies and to maintain agriculture and forestry as the top industries in the state.”
The fund will provide financial assistance to agricultural, food, forestry, and nonprofit agricultural entities in Tennessee. Applications are accepted online from March 1 until March 31, 2023.
The FARM cost share program will fund projects that promote stabilizing and strengthening the supply chain to prevent future challenges. Businesses that receive financial assistance from the FARM program are not required to repay the funds. Funding is disbursed on a reimbursement basis.
TDA will conduct two webinars on Feb. 15, 2023 with information on the FARM program, the eligibility guidelines, the program timeline, and the application process. There is no charge to attend but registration is required at https://hornellp.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_n3o-b9yySpqfsiGszystXA.
For the first time in five weeks the Tennessee gas price average moved less expensive. Over last week gas prices declined nine cents, on average. The Tennessee Gas Price average is now $3.19 which is 20 cents more expensive than one month ago and nearly six cents more than one year ago.
“We’re starting to see pump prices move lower thanks to a sharp drop in the oil and gasoline futures markets,” said Megan Cooper, spokeswoman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Right now, a combination of domestic and global factors are working together to place downward pressure on pump prices. However, keep in mind that the market still remains volatile. This week, barring any big changes in the crude oil market, it’s likely Tennesseans will continue to see pump prices fluctuate lower.”
Quick Facts
11% of Tennessee gas stations have prices below $3.00
The lowest 10% of pump prices are $2.95 for regular unleaded
The highest 10% of pump prices are $3.50 for regular unleaded
Tennessee is the 10th least expensive market in the nation
National Gas Prices
The national average for a gallon of gas barely budged over the past week, drifting lower by three cents to $3.47. Last week’s decision by OPEC+ to maintain current production levels and not make any cuts led to lower oil prices. But Friday’s blockbuster U.S. report of 517,000 jobs added in January, dropping the unemployment rate to a 54-year low of 3.4%, may have the opposite effect. Are recession fears fading, and could a healthier global economy lead to more demand for oil and higher prices?
According to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand rose from 8.14 million to 8.49 million b/d last week. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks increased by 2.6 million bbl to 234.6 million bbl. Despite rising gas demand, total supply growth has helped limit pump price increases.
Today’s national average of $3.47 is 18 cents more than a month ago and four cents more than a year ago.

Tips for How to Keep your Children and Teens Safe Online
“The internet can be a dangerous place for children and teens to explore without adult supervision,” said Cannon County Child Advocacy Center Community Education Coordinator Presley Hosford. “Our world relies heavily on technology and it can be difficult to keep our kids safe. It is important for us to talk to our children and educate them to keep them safe from online predators on Safer Internet Day and every day.”
Talk about online safety with your children and teens. Make sure that kids know not to share any personal information on the internet; the less information they put out there, the better. They should never send personal information or images to strangers or even friends. Some teens believe that sending nude pictures over apps such as Snapchat is safe because the image disappears after a specified amount of time. But once they send an image like that, it can be screenshot or saved and sent to other people who they did not intend to see it. Online predators can use these same apps to lure children and teens into sending explicit images under the guise of making new friends online. According to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, “in 2022, more than 3,000 minor victims, primarily boys, were targeted with sextortion crimes.”
Checking security settings for apps is crucial for online safety. Familiarize yourself with the security features of popular social media platforms. Almost all apps can be used safely, but many people don’t know some security features need to be manually enabled. For example, Snapchat has a feature called SnapMaps. SnapMaps gives you the option to click on someone’s bitmoji and receive directions to their location. Using the default privacy and security settings, anyone can see your location, even a user who isn’t “friends” with you. That is why it is so important to make sure that the location permissions are turned off. The same can be true for Instagram’s “Stories” feature. You should make sure your kids have their profiles set to private so that only people they know can see their content.
Setting ground rules online is just as important as setting them in the real world. Actions and consequences might make sense to an adult, but children and teens don’t have as much experience to draw from. Explain to your kids that you don’t want them to accept friend requests from people they don’t know or post pictures of themselves with the location tagged. Crucially, explain why you’ve set these rules. A rebellious teenager might disregard your rules if they don’t realize how important online safety is. The most important thing is for you to let them know that they can come to you if they think they have made a mistake online. Be supportive and do not criticize. Help them with the situation and seek out appropriate assistance if needed.

In 2022, the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance (“TDCI”) returned $11.49 million to Tennesseans through its mediation and restitution efforts.
This figure represents the largest amount of money ever repaid to consumers in a single year in the Department’s history.
As part of the mediation and restitution process, TDCI’s Consumer Insurance Services team mediated 3,249 complaints between consumers and insurance companies. These efforts resulted in previously denied claims being overturned and additional benefits identified and paid to consumers.
“I am truly proud of TDCI’s Consumer Insurance Services team for their record-breaking work on behalf of consumers,” said TDCI Assistant Commissioner Bill Huddleston. “Consumers often feel frustrated and overwhelmed dealing with insurance-related issues, and our dedicated Consumer Insurance Services team is ready to assist, at all times. Filing a complaint is always an option for consumers who feel as if an insurance claim has been unjustly denied, or if they have questions or concerns about their insurance policies.”
TDCI regulates all lines of insurance and encourages consumers to contact the Consumer Insurance Servicesteam with any insurance-related question or concern. Among consumers’ top complaints are claim denials, claim delays, unsatisfactory settlement offers, and out-of-network benefits.
Consumers should review these tips when working with their insurance company:
Verify that an insurance company and an agent are licensed in Tennessee.
Read the policy documents so you understand its provisions before filing a claim.
Retain pictures and/or receipts for all contents on your property. Digital tools such as the NAIC Home Inventory App can assist when it comes to filing claims after a fire loss.
Know your coverage limits for your auto policies, and what is required by state law.
Visit a healthcare provider that is in-network with your insurance carrier.
Purchase a new life insurance policy with the assistance of a licensed agent to help make the choices that are best suited for your personal needs. Life insurance policies often require personalization as well as require certain health factors to determine your eligibility for coverage.
